Background: Antiviral therapies such as lamivudine and entecavir
have been shown to reduce hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development
and death in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with
cirrhosis. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is a potent antiviral
agent with no documented resistance to date, but its impact on clinical
outcomes is unclear. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of TDF
therapy on HCC and deaths.
Methods: Two cohorts of CHB cirrhotic patients were retrospectively
studied. Cirrhosis was defined by liver histology, thrombocytopenia
(\150 9 109/L) or features of portal hypertension seen on imaging.
TDF cohort included consecutive patients from two Asian centres
who had received TDF 300 mg/day for at least 12 months. Control
cohort included historical untreated patients who underwent routine
clinical care. The 5-year cumulative probabilities of HCC, all-cause
mortality and liver-related mortality were compared.
Result: 773 TDF-treated (68% men; age 52 ± 9 years; follow-up
38 ± 9 months; 48% hepatitis B e antigen [HBeAg] positive) and 69
untreated cirrhotic patients (80% men; age 51 ± 11 years; follow-up
96 ± 45 months; 28% HBeAg positive) were studied. The median
model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score and interquartile
range (IQR) for TDF vs. control cohorts were 8 (IQR 7–9) vs. 9
(7–12), respectively. The frequencies of patients with undetectable
hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in TDF cohort at baseline,
years 1, 2 and 3 were 13.8, 80, 86 and 84%, respectively. At the
5-year follow-up mark, there were 69 HCCs and 27 deaths of which
23 were liver-related. The 5-year cumulative probabilities in TDF vs.
control cohort were: 13.5% (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.9–24.0%)
vs. 26.4% (15.2–37.6%) for HCC (P = 0.001); 2.9% (0.0–6.8%) vs.
23.3% (12.9–33.7%) for liver-related mortality (P\0.001) and 2.9%
(0.0–6.8%) vs. 28.2% (17.4–39.0%) for all-cause mortality
(P\0.001), respectively (Fig. 1). On multivariate Cox regression
model, TDF-treated patients had reduced risks of HCC (hazard ratio
[HR] 0.52, 95% CI 0.28–0.97, P = 0.039), liver-related mortality
(HR 0.15, 95% CI 0.06–0.41, P\0.001) and all-cause mortality (HR
0.12, 95% CI 0.05–0.30, P\0.001) at 5 years after adjustment for
age, sex, MELD score and prior antiviral treatment experience
(Table 1). Increased serum albumin was also an independent protective
factor for these events.
Conclusion: TDF treatment reduces risks of HCC, liver-related and
all-cause mortality in CHB patients with cirrhosis in 5 years.
